You can configure static and dynamic thresholds that, when crossed, cause Entuity to raise events. Dynamic thresholds enable Entuity to alert the user to deviations from previous normal behavior for that time period.

Entuity establishes normal behavior for a given attribute on a given port by maintaining the last four weeks' worth of polled data, and applying an averaging algorithm.

You can set thresholds against:

an individual event.

a managed object or View.

all objects on an Entuity server.

To view a static threshold or a dynamic threshold:

Note, to see the thresholds for your entire network, please select the 'All Objects' View and then open the its Thresholds dashboard. You can also right click on your desired managed object anywhere in the UI to open its Context Menu, and click Threshold Settings to open its Thresholds dashboard. You can also select multiple managed objects, right click to open their Context Menu and click Threshold Settings to open the Thresholds for multiple items page. Here you can view, set and edit thresholds across multiple objects.
